Comic entertainer and game show host Lennie Bennett has died at the age of 70, his agent has confirmed.

The TV personality first appeared on stand-up show The Comedians in 1971, and became the presenter of shows including Punchlines during the 1980s.

The Blackpool-based performer starred alongside Jerry Stevens on their own comedy show Lennie and Jerry in 1978.

Bennett moved out of the limelight and was last seen on a game show hosts' edition of The Weakest Link in 2003.
